Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen pledges $100 million to fight Ebola
Paul Allen, billionaire owner of sports teams and mega-yachts, on Thursday pledged at least $100 million to fight Ebola in what is believed to be the largest private foundation donation so far to combat the deadly disease and support healthcare workers in West Africa.
"The Ebola virus is unlike any health crisis we have ever experienced and needs a response unlike anything we have ever seen," Mr Allen said in a statement. "I am committed to tackling Ebola until it is stopped."
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the $100 million pledge by the owner of the Seattle Seahawks and the Portland Trail Blazers is the latest in a stream of donations by wealthy individuals and foundations.
Last week, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, donated $25 million to the CDC Foundation.
In September, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave $50 million to support the emergency response to the disease, while the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation committed $5 million. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation gave $US1 million in August.
